More Paintings....



Here are three more of my paintings. The field of poppies is the one I did for Molly and Paul. I let them pick out what they wanted me to do. From now on, I'll decide! The lavender lake is one of my favorites and was hanging on my wall. It now hangs in Caleen and Bret's house in Dallas. Caleen took the responsibility (cost) of getting it there. Makes me feel good that she wanted it that badly. The winter scene is Maren and Glen's in Vegas. They need it to remind them of cool mountain breezes!

24-Day Road Trip







Craig and I left on May 28, '09for a road trip. We pulled our 22' Hi/Lo trailer and headed for Amanda's wedding to Curtis Niell in Boise. Matt, Luke, Sean, Robb and Jeff Costello are pictured: 2 sets of brothers and 5 of 7 male Costello cousins. From Boise, we took back roads north, seeing great country and talking to interesting, fun people. We went as far north as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There the sun didn't set until 10:30p.m. and it was twilight until midnight. The sun started to rise at 3a.m. Way cool until you think about the opposite season! Too many experiences to tell about here. We recommend Banff and Jasper Natl' Parks in Canada! Most of the pics are self explanatory except for the one of Craig, me, my brother Marks' daughter, Kam and her mom Sharon and Jeff in front of his "summer home"--a converted van that he lives in while he works for the summer in Jackson, Wyo.
